Because
of significant surgical advances with improved results,
interest in hair replacement surgery has increased significantly
during the past decade. Hair loss affects two out of every
three men and one in five women. Some people begin to lose
hair in their 20s. Frequent shampooing, poor circulation,
wearing hats or any other personal habits are not factors
that cause hair loss. For men, heredity is the major factor
in hair loss. For women, hormonal changes, including those
that occur in menopause, are mainly responsible for female “pattern
changes,” which include thinning and loss. Accidents,
burns and disease can also trigger hair loss. The key factor
in hair replacement is the presence of donor hair on the
side or the back scalp, which is then used to replace hair
where loss has occurred. Total baldness makes replacement
surgery impossible.
If you’ve wondered how hair replacement
surgery could improve your appearance and possibly even
your self confidence, you need to know how this surgery
is performed and what you, as an individual, can expect
from this procedure.
